Best Pokemon Per Role

Best Attacker: Inteleon

Game8 chose Inteleon as Season 15's best Attacker. Inteleon remains as one of the most viable damage dealer in the game thanks to its powerful critical-hits. Although the Pokemon's potential to carry games is often underestimated due to its fragile stature, the damage it can deal is undeniably top notch.

Best Speedster: Leafeon

Game8 chose Leafeon as Season 15's best Speedster. Leafeon continues to show its value as a Speedster despite getting nerfed in the 1.12.1.4 update. Its speed, burst damage, scaling, and versatility remains to be unchallenged by other Speedsters.

Best Defender: Umbreon

Game8 chose Umbreon as Season 15's best Defender. Umbreon remains the most viable Defender in the game, showing consistent placing in the top 10 Pokemon in ranked. The Pokemon's versatile moveset, high durability, and great scaling makes it such a unique Defender pick.

Best Supporter: Clefable

Game8 chose Clefable as Season 15's best Supporter. With the meta moving away from Mewtwo and towards picks like Blaziken and Mimikyu, Clefable's AoE healing and ability to disable dash moves makes it a much more favorable Supporter pick compared to others.

Best Holowear

Best Holowear for Season 15
Punk Style (Blaziken)	Detective Style (Mew)	Phantom Thief Style (Inteleon)

Game8 has chosen these three as Season 15's best holowears. They gave their corresponding Pokemon a unique look and personality. They also happen to be Holowears of the top 3 Pokemon picks in ranked games.

Best Newcomer: Mimikyu

Game8 chose Mimikyu as Season 15's best Newcomer. Mimikyu was a peculiar addition to the roster, particularly as an All-Rounder. Its tiny stature is far from the fearsome appearance typically associated with All-Rounder and hides the true extent of its strength in battle. When it recieved a huge buff in the 1.12.1.6 update, Mimikyu's strength and viability skyrocketed, allowing the Pokemon to achieve new heights in the meta.

Notable Meta Changes

Mega Mewtwo Y's Decline

The sudden decline of Mega Mewtwo Y is perhaps the biggest meta change in Season 15. Although the Pokemon already recieved numerous nerfs prior to Season 15, it was the 1.12.1.4 update that truly put a huge dent on the Pokemon's strength, putting an end to its dominant streak.
